Print Dear Gabby, I am writing to you today about my very best friend in the entire world. The two of us have known each other for 10 years. We both were raised in the UPC and her dad is a pastor. About a year ago, she moved out on her own, desiring freedom to grow up and that’s when all the problems started happening. To make a long story short, she came in contact with a man who was in the process of getting a divorce and they got involved with each other sexually. When she told me about it I was upset but she told me that if it’s in your heart you might as well do it because you’re sinning by thinking it anyway. In the past, she was used of God, now she barely goes to church at all. How can I help her before she ruins her life? She’s got a lot to offer, and I know God forgives. Any word of advice for me to give her, or should I stop worrying about her? I don’t want to see her hurt or turn from God completely. Seeking Advice in San Diego
Dear Seeking, Occasionally, I get a letter from a reader that can be answered by a previous one. This is an example of that. Although you’re writing from the perspective of a friend and my previous writer was a parent, the principles are the same. Why don’t you read this and see if it’s at all helpful? Although it’s very painful when someone you love makes such serious mistakes, God is always there to help us through it. Sincerely Sincere,
